Humcha Jain temples, Jain temple complex in Shivamogga district, India.
The Humcha temples feature multiple shrines with rectangular forms, intricate stone carvings, and traditional mahāmandapas arranged on elevated plinths.
Built during the seventh century under Santara dynasty rule, these temples received substantial donations and expansions through inscriptions dated from the ninth century.
The Panchkuta Basadi, constructed in 1077, contains five garbhagrihas that display religious sculptures central to Jain religious practices and beliefs.
The temple complex remains open for religious activities under the management of Humcha Matha, with protection from the Archaeological Survey of India.
Three monolithic statues of Bahubali stand within the complex, alongside the Padmavati Basadi, which incorporates elements of Badami Chalukya architecture.
